Blue Star Jets’ imprisoned ex-CEO, Ricky Sitomer, is not planning to pay former wife Lori Levy enough to get him sprung from jail, and continues to claim he’s broke, even though a judge says he’s consistently used his company’s money to fund his lavish lifestyle. Sitomer, known for rubbing shoulders with stars as an ex-sponsor of the Bridgehampton Polo Challenge, is currently serving a 60-day sentence for contempt for not paying Levy a $3 million divorce settlement. Sources say the once high-flying exec is content “taking business calls and working out” while languishing in “the Tombs” — the Manhattan Detention Complex — and has no plans to put up the $500,000 “purge amount” that would allow him to walk free. Judge Matthew Cooper said in his Jan. 17 decision that while Sitomer cries broke, “Blue Star Jets pays practically every living expense,” including a Bentley, an Escalade and jewelry for his current wife, Jennifer Donoghue. They married in August in Nantucket, “where people were flown in, put up, a house was rented. It was paid for by Blue Star Jets,” Judge Cooper wrote. Todd Rome, president and acting CEO of Blue Star, says it is “untrue that Sitomer used company funds for personal expenses, and that what he does with his personal earnings is up to him.” Richard Adago, a lawyer at Blank Rome who represents Levy, said, “He’s going to be busy jockeying for the first-class seat in front of the communal TV in jail on Super Bowl Sunday.”
